NCAA math: Round 1.25 update

Round 1 started off so boring.  Only 2 upsets on Thursday with just a 12/5 and an 11/6 upset.  Obviously that changed in a big way on Friday.  With Saturday games now half over, here's an update of the highest scoring games with my new scoring system:

Most Valuable Games:

Lehigh over Duke - 14pts (15/2, 1st round)

Norfolk St. over Missouri - 14pts (15/2, 1st round)

Ohio over Michigan - 10pts (13/4, 1st round)

Temple over USF - 8pts (12/5, 1st round)

VCU over Wichita St - 8pts (12/5, 1st round)

Colorado over UNLV - 6pts (11/6, 1st round)

NC St over SDSU - 6pts (11/6, 1st round)

98 points total were possible in the first round.  As #15 seeds were on a combined 4-104 streak, you probably didn't pick either of them, and therefore max out at 70 points, even if you got everything else, which represents about 70% of the possible points.  (Whereas with the traditional scoring, you'd only be out 2/32 points, or about 6%.)  So far 4 games are complete in the second round, with out an upset yet.  Perhaps a boring Saturday with mayhem on Sunday?

I haven't really had time to calculate lots of different brackets and look at the results.  The weather has been too nice to sit at the computer all day.  (I only sat in front of it for half the day!)
